How to Train Explosive Knee Extension: An 800Hz IMU Guide to RFD, Jump Power, and Velocity

Explosive knee extension training raises jump height and sprint speed. An 800Hz IMU tracks knee RFD across a 12-week protocol built for up to 71% gains.

Power-Time Curve of the Clean: An 800Hz IMU Analysis of First Pull, Transition, and Second Pull

The clean's power-time curve puts 60-70% of total power in the second pull. See how 800Hz IMU data from PoinT GO breaks down each phase of the lift.

Why Bar Velocity Drops in the Final Rep: A Neuromuscular and Metabolic Analysis

That final-rep grind isn't just in your head. Neuromuscular fatigue, metabolic byproducts, and motor unit changes all show up clearly in the velocity data.

Why Cluster Sets Preserve Velocity Better: The Neuromuscular Science of Distributed Rest

Traditional sets bleed bar speed rep after rep. Cluster sets hold velocity 12% higher by spacing micro-rests, per neuromuscular and 800Hz VBT evidence.

Why Deload Frequency Matters More Than Intensity: A VBT-Driven Research Review

Cutting intensity isn't the lever that matters most for recovery — deload frequency is. Six RCTs re-read through IMU and VBT data confirm it.

Why Eccentric Velocity Predicts Injury: A VBT-Based Risk Monitoring Research Review

A 12% rise in eccentric velocity over four weeks is tied to a 2.8x jump in hamstring injury risk. See how 800Hz IMU tracking flags it early.

Why Female Athletes Need Different VBT Protocols: 800Hz IMU Sex-Specific Velocity Research

Load-velocity profiles aren't interchangeable between sexes. 800Hz IMU data shows where female athletes diverge, plus how the cycle shifts velocity zones.

Why 30% Velocity Loss Is the Best VBT Cutoff: A Meta-Analysis of Pareja-Blanco and Beyond

Stop guessing when to end a set. Pareja-Blanco's data shows a 30% velocity loss cutoff balances hypertrophy and power better than VL10, VL20, or VL40.

Why Rep-by-Rep Velocity Stabilization Matters: Reliability and Adaptation Signals in VBT

When rep-to-rep velocity variation drops below a 5% coefficient of variation, that is your sign neuromuscular adaptation is locking in, per 800Hz IMU data.
